I am not seemingly meant to work within large corporations or other large human frameworks requiring me to be demure and willing to ignore blatant affronts to my cognitive or other sovereignty.
As you watch people climb the corporate ladder, there is this point where they stop protesting the injurious. They get crapped on, and figure they’ll just dish it out when they get higher up and in a position to do so.
Part of fitting in is always being willing to subordinate your opinion to others. Now, obviously, in any human system you can’t always get your way. To demand it is stupid. At the same time, there is a big difference between compromising because you have to, and forgetting what your principles and beliefs are in the first place.
Organization Men (and Women) forget who they are. They accept the unacceptable so many times without complaint that they forget they once had backbone.
This is the problem, too, with politicians, whose constraints are always public opinion. They get muted and chastened by the views of the electorate, and so water down their own beliefs that when it comes time to stand for something, they have forgotten how.
I have no idea if Donald Trump would make a good President, but it can be stated with no hope of contradiction that he is an individualist. He does things his own way, for his own reasons. Obviously, he always hopes to capture greater notoriety and/or business success, but what he is not trying to do is fit in. He is trying to create his own unique brand, and is obviously quite sincere in doing so.
That is why and how he brought up the issue of Obama’ identity, which has been so successfully suppressed by the propaganda machines in our airwaves.
People care about this issue. They know they are being lied to, about this, about the debt, about Obamacare, about Social Security, about Medicare, but are unable to find anyone willing to buck their pollsters.
Sometimes you have to lead, and wait for people to follow. I think that’s what he’s done. Again, I can’t say if he’s smart enough to be President, but I’m quite sure Obama isn’t, and he is occupying the office now.
What we want is people who are NOT organization men. What we have been doing has NOT been working.
